Bond Once again Gresham can boast of having one of the best high school bands in the state. The band, with Mr. Harold Weber wielding the baton, won for itself an excellent rating at the state band contest at Corvallis. Mr. Weber as well as the members of the band should be congratulated upon the fine showing made by the band at the many football and basketball games and also at the student body meetings. Several Sunday concerts were presented throughout the year, which met with great success.

The officers are: Doris Berg, president, June Metzger, vice-president, Marjorie Stone, secretary, Edith Gleason, treasurer, and Mary Lou Chastain, council member. H i-Y This club was organized as a minor division of the Y. M. C. A. to include boys of high school age.

Officers for l935-l 936 were: Roger Kidder, president, Owen Bourne, sec- retary, Bill Harlow, treasurer, and Jim Metzger, sergeant-at-arms.
